The connections between the sneaker world, the NBA, and rap music are incalculable, but never has the intersection between the three been so precise than in the gallery above, featuring NBA signature sneakers with a rap album twist.

The photos come via artist Patso Dimitrov, who states that he was “inspired to create a new design for some of my favorite shoes from the 2013-2014 NBA seasons while making them look like some of the best rap/hip-hop albums from the past few years.” To our benefit, the result of his inspiration is quite impressive.

You can see exactly what I’m talking about by flipping through the images above. And after seeing those, I’m sure you’ll want to check out the rest of the collection at Patso’s website.
